Root Canal Therapy — Relieving Pain and Saving Your Natural Tooth

​

Damaged or infected teeth can cause persistent discomfort. If you’ve ever woken up with a dull ache, experienced sharp sensitivity to hot or cold, or felt a constant throbbing pain, you may need root canal therapy.

​

Inside each tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected or inflamed, it can lead to serious complications if not treated promptly. Root canal treatment removes the infection, relieves pain, and preserves your natural tooth.

​

Why choose root canal therapy?

​

• Prevents the spread of infection and protects surrounding teeth.

• Saves your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.

• Combining with regular check-ups helps prevent further damage or recurrence.

 

What to expect

 

Root canal therapy is a routine procedure performed under local anaesthetic for your comfort.

​

1. We begin by creating a small opening in the affected tooth.

2. The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the area is thoroughly cleaned, sterilised, and sealed.

3. The tooth is then restored using a specialised filling material or, in some cases, a dental crown for added protection.

​

The treatment usually takes around two hours, completed over one or two appointments depending on your case.

 

If you’re experiencing ongoing tooth pain or sensitivity, don’t wait — early treatment can save your tooth and prevent future complications.
